hundred years. On her birthday,

day I'm one hundred years old. Can
it be possible? 1t seems like dream. !"

several passages of Scripture, and her
last words, an hour before she died,
were: ''God bless you all. Good-by,
darlings. I'm going home" Threa
children, fifteen grandchildren, TWEEN

Among the visitors at Gettysburg,
Pa, recently, was Stephen Walker,
night clerk of the Office of the Pitts
burgh Post. 1t was his first day off
duty for over twenty-five years. Dur
ing all that time his holidays have been
the days on which there was no work
to be done on the paper In the former
days of journalism it was the custom
not to issue any paper on the day fol-
lowing Thanksgiving, the Fourth of
July, Christmas and other holidays
Not to lose a day by SO important an
event as his marriage, Mr.. Walker was
married on Thanksgiving day, 1868.
"A lawyer of this city has an idea.
Startling, but true. He used to go to
school. And he is acquainted with
children that go to school now.
"Now, instead of filing school reading
books with trashy poetry and over
done moral tales, says our lawyer,
why not give them an elementary
digest of the law? The children
would as soon read law. while learning
to read, as anything else, and the
knowledge thus unconsciously imbibed
will be of service to them in later
years, when they are sued by tailor
or young man goes back on them -

Mr.. Pond, the Government analyst
of New Zealand, has proved by actual
experiment that the dust thrown out
during the recent volcanic eruptions is
of a highly fertilizing kind. He OBJ
tanned samples of the dust from three
different places, and sowed aquantity of
clover and grass seeds in each. The
soil was kept moistened with distilled
water, so that no manurial elements
might be impaired by the water used.
In all cases the growth was almost as
vigorous as in rich volcanic soil. The
rapid growth of the plants and their
color show that the dust is benefit to
the soil on which it has fallen.

WEBSTER IN WOOD.
History of a Painted Statue of the Great
New England Orator.

History of Painted Statue of the Great
New England Orator.
Travellers who journey down the
south shore frequently put the query.
"What is it?' to their fellow-tourists,
with relation to q snow-white statue to
be seen Oh the left of the track, just
before the train halts at the bingham
station. The glimpse one gets of
the figure as the cars speed past
is tantalizingly short, and even the
most experienced eye has barely time
to note its likeness to Daniel Webster,
and possibly the additional fact that it
stands upon low mound at the rear
of row of buildings. Why, if it is
really work of merit, as it appears to
be, it should be given SO inconspicuous
position, and when and how it came
into existence at all, are questions
curing traveller and all his compan-
ions. A representative of the Herald,
however, who has made inquiry re-
specting the statue, has learned that
the figure was presented to Mr.. Sam
uel Gilbert, of Boston, about thirty
years ago by his relative and intimate
friend, Mr. Edward Winsor, who pur-
chased it at a sale of a wood-carver's
effects. Mr.. Gilbert placed it upon
mound of earth in his garden at Dor
chester where he then resided, on the
estate now occupied by Mr.. Edwin II.
Sampson. Ball Hughes, the sculptor,
examined it while it was thus located.
and appeared to be much pleased with
it. He did not. however, fancy
It's position on a mound, and said
to Mr.. Gilbert that he ought to have
placed it on the lawn in front of the
house and in view of the street Upon
Mr.. Gilbert remarking that be would
have done so had it been of marble in
stead of wood, the sculptor said it did
not matter of what material the statue
was made, as many fine figures were of
wood. The statue is six feet in height,
in Mr.. Webster's favorite and usual
position in drawing room, and repre-
sents him as he looked few years be-
fore his death. It's bearing is at once
graceful and dignifed, and were it
chiseled from marble instead of carved
from wood it would long ago, doubt

position in some public place. 1t was
probably carved for the fgure-head of
ship. On Mr.. Gilbert's removal
from Dorchester. number of years
ago, he, presented the figure to his rel
ative, Mr.. George M. Soule, of Hing
ham, who had always admired it. It
was then taken to the town named
and placed in its present position on
the land of Mr.. Soule. The latter gen
tleman died several years since. The
figure is painted white, and were it not
for it's peculiar location an observer a
few feet away from it would never
suspect that it had not its aristocratic
origin in an Italian marble quarry, in
stead of tracing it's lineage back to the
more plebeian associations of an Am
er1can forest.-Bosto11 Herald
